Hi, Currently I'm using postgresql v8.1.3 and the latest jdbc. I try to open a JReports' report and the time taken to completely open the report is 137453ms. Then I open the same report but this time I connect to postgresql v7.2.2 but the completion time is even faster than connect to postgresql v8.1.3 which took 15516ms to finish. I try many times and the result is still the same. So I think it might be compatibility problem between JReport & Postgresql 8.1.3 so i add in 'protocolVersion=2' in the connection string. Then i open the same report again and this time it just as what i expected, the execution time for the report become 6000ms only, it is 20x times faster than previous test without 'protocolVersion=2' option. May I know what is the reason of this? Is it because of the compatibility between JDBC driver with JReport? Thanks!
